Dunmunro, I think you see too much. Anyway, let's move to question #3 . Do you agree that the film sequence of Bismarck firing included in the PG battle film was taken at a later period of time than the photo shown in question #2 ? YES NO I have to say no, I cannot agree, because we have no reliabl...

Hi all. I rescaled by 4X the image of the supposed first salvo: http://www.sfu.ca/~dmunro/images/Salvo1a?.jpg http://www.sfu.ca/~dmunro/images/Salvo1a?.jpg and circled the shadows. The thing is that the sun would be low in the upper right hand corner of the image, assuming a course of 220d at ~0553...

I think it would be better to formulate that question in a timing context, e.g. if ship X fired at time Y, do you think that the relative time difference of PE opening fire was Z minutes (wheer Z can be either negative or positive)? If you want to use Hood's open fire time at ~0552:30 as Dunmunro j...

Question #1. Do you agree that the Prinz Eugen opened fire at 0555 hours? Yes No Why? (Optional) 5:55 in which clock system (german/british/which ship)? I think it would be better to formulate that question in a timing context, e.g. if ship X fired at time Y, do you think that the relative time dif...

Does anyone have any thoughts as to where we might go from here? B Nowhere. As mentioned so many times before, the only constructive way forward is to avoid to get into religious discussions like this and don't open the door for missionaries. You have rightfully drawn a comparison to the disagreeme...

What puzzles me no end is why it is so important that Prince of Wales be portrayed as having delivered a top notch, first-class gunnery performance on 24 May. B Well, I guess your question is a rhetoric one. This whole new thematic subset which might be summarized as "RoF speculations" or simply "c...

I'm sorry, but many people on Kbismarck tend to forget why they are here: because they have been reading material posted by Antonio , Alberto , etc, since many years now. Would be interested to learn on what you base this statement on, or what makes you confident to speak for the motivation of othe...

. If such a mode of operations would have been adopted, probably many debates about the disengagement would have been non-existent... Well, there are not many debates. There is only one, and in my view, it is hilarious, childish, and ridicolous beyond all imagination. It is the 21st century, and gr...

Please re-read your post and try to understand the failure. . There is no hope that any understanding will be gained. The best way to stop this painful and meaningless repetitions is not to react anymore. Attention-seeking personalities rely on a stage on which they can flourish, and creating disse...

So far, of course, my simple question still awaits a cogent response. B Dear Byron, as an opinion , as uninformed as it might seem or be, my suggestion is to try to create a less aggravating dialogue, with less explicit demands. I know that the solidity of a house rests on the solidity of it's foun...

An argument may be made, I suppose, that withholding the records in some way increases the commercial value of an upcoming book, etc., but I don't think that's very likely. If the current situation continues, what is more likely is that when the book finally IS released, it will be negatively revie...

Can any evidence be put forward to support this allegation? If not, it must be consigned to the realm of conjecture. Yet again ..... theories and opinions do not equal facts. B Byron, I hear your frustration. I've been there before. As mentioned, my solution was to simply stop replying to this endl...

Prince of Wales 's gunnery output during 1st engagement was 75%, and during second engagement it was 85%. Prinz Eugen 's gunnery output during 1st engagement was 85%, and during second engagement unknown. In short , the ship reported having "teething troubles" on her main armament, produced the sam...
